Citigroup Inc.Citigroup Inc.Citi warns that U.S. equity positioning may face further pressure as the recent technology-driven selloff has significantly weakened investor positioning across global markets. Strategist David Chew notes the Nasdaq has seen the sharpest shift, with positioning resetting lower but remaining vulnerable because all longs are currently in loss, while the S&P 500 has weakened mainly through long unwinding. In Europe, the DAX has moved into outright bearish territory and bullish positioning in the Euro Stoxx has retreated, though crowded short positions create asymmetric squeeze risks if sentiment stabilizes. Asia remains under pressure, with South Korea's KOSPI identified as the market most exposed to further deleveraging due to elevated positioning. The upcoming earnings season will be crucial in determining whether positioning stabilizes or further unwinding occurs.
